The National League of Cities (NLC) has published an article focusing on several studies that evaluate housing challenges facing members of LGBTQIA+ communities, including housing instability and inaccessible housing, discrimination, and hurdles faced specifically by LGBTQIA+ youth and LGBTQIA+ people of color. In addition to sharing local solutions adopted in Detroit, Seattle, and Portland, Oregon, the article offers recommendations for cities regarding how better to support LGBTQIA+ communities, including by collaborating with nonprofits or private providers, providing training to agencies and partner organizations, enhancing data collection, expanding local Fair Housing and anti-discrimination laws, and further developing LGBTQIA+-specific housing programs and services. NLC is a Steering Committee member of NLIHC’s Opportunity Starts at Home campaign and provides insights about local governments to help inform the campaign’s multi-sector housing advocacy strategy.
